Just heard it and you beat me to the comment.
Would be nice if true.

Phil keeps surprising us with moves none of us predicted, or entertained. I never heard one thing about this kid, but definitely seems like a solid comparrison

Shows a varied skillset. Moves without the ball, athletic, flashes of a post game, good passer when willing. Has some good straight line drives. Hard to tell though just watching highlight reels.

Another Clarence Gaines Jr. find? Man. He is really earning his money.

Must be one of Gaines guys?

What, nobody going "kirilinko" comparison?
Looked like he shot 30% form 3pt. Not sure they let it fly on his team. If he moves without the ball he'll triangulate.
Not for anything, but our knicks are interesting. Im looking forward to seeing these guys play and if the sum adds up greater than the parts!!!
ChuckBuck likes it. That makes me suspect.

Kevin Wilson, he is the Knicks guy in Spain.

Either way, our international scouts are rock stars.

Snippet:

One European scout told The Post that Kuzminskas has “Danilo Gallinari skills’’ and is a good defender. Another NBA scout said his game resembles a young Dirk Nowitzki’s in style, if not in quality.

Kuzminskas recently signed a deal with a Turkish club, according to Sportando. It’s unclear if Phil Jackson intends to make him a rotation player, but thinks highly of his skill level. The Knicks re-upped Lance Thomas, but are unlikely to retain free agent Derrick Williams at the wing position.

Somebody had to go Dirk!

Basically, he is like a 20 year old Dirk, but is 26? Isn't every blonde Euro "Dirk"? Too funny!

That's it. I was trying to think of the name that Berman said found this kid and that was it.

I can see why they would compare him to Gallo. He actually looks more fluid than Gallo.

He most certainly is, plus euro players just seem to play with a much higher IQ

Hope not, because the Knicks won't be.
